Adapting to changing regulatory environments, to political, economic and market pressures and to rapidly developing technology are just some of the challenges facing firms within the energy sector.
Organisations in the energy value chain must find innovative ways to answer the challenges posed by less predictable energy sources and demanding carbon emission targets. New communications technologies and flexible IT service models are part of the solution.
The emergence of renewable energy sources as an alternative to the more traditional and more reliable energy from fossil fuels is causing a disruption in the energy value chain. Whether the peak oil date has been reached or not, companies in the energy industry understand that their business model needs to change if they want to retain their current market position.
Climate change represents both a threat and an opportunity for the energy industry. Organisations face the challenge of producing increasing amounts of energy from less reliable sources. Flexibility and efficiency in the operation are key success factors.
Key players in the energy value chain have taken the lead in the development of technologies that can provide the energy of the future using alternative sources and technologies. Organisations must therefore be prepared to cope with the possible effects of disruptive innovations from within the energy industry.
New technologies and services in the communications domain can be used as tools in this quest for flexibility, efficiency and innovation. In order to maximise the value these tools can offer, it is vital to define a business-driven converged communications strategy and instigate necessary change in the organisation and its supply chain to make the strategy a reality.
